“It's important to get guys that can come in and play early because we're losing so much. But the big thing is the last couple years, it's been hard numbers-wise to get linebackers in here because those guys were starting since they were sophomores. So just our numbers were down.”
“It's always a challenge. It's a challenge because we've got some new faces and some new guys and you just have to start over just with the stuff that you are teaching.”
“We think we have a good group - probably seven guys who could end up starting for us. We'll see how they develop over the rest of the summer and then through fall camp. There's a lot of competition - healthy competition.”
